As such, both classical and modernized (influenced by contemporary musical genres) cantatas are {{invoked}} in the form of [[OneWomanWail One-Woman Wails]], {{Cherubic Choir}}s, {{Ethereal Choir}}s, and {{Ominous Latin Chanting}}s.

Added DiffLines:

In a rather inaccurate way, cantatas can be described as the songs of ClassicalMusic. Most people tend to associate it with symphonies, i.e., large instrumental arrangements. However, classical music does have vocal compositions, which, ordered by duration are: the {{Cantata}}, the {{Oratorio}} (an anthology of cantatas), and the {{Opera}} (a theatrical, lengthy vocal composition). The cantata is often of chamber scale (few instruments and singers), though symphonic cantatas also exist.

All in all, saying that cantatas have a GenreMotif sounds as absurd as saying the same about songs. Why does this tab exist, then? Well, like classical music, in modern times, cantatas have acquired this distinct air of sophistication, grandiosity, and times bygone. In a nutshell, what several Youtubers classify as "Powerful Vocals".
